TY - JOUR TI - Archival documents regarding Jewish communities in Greater Poland in the pre-1939 collection of Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden AU - Witkowski, Rafał TI - Archival documents regarding Jewish communities in Greater Poland in the pre-1939 collection of Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden AB - The evolution of scientific institutions in Germany in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century brought about the establishment of a professional archive gathering previously dispersed resources on the history of Jews in the German territories. Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden was officially launched on October 1, 1905, and soon became the largest and the most important Jewish archive in Germany. The turbulent history of the collection during the times of the fascist regime and in the years following the Second World War caused the original collection to be scattered, while many archival materials were completely destroyed. The article presents parts of the preserved lists of archival documents regarding Jews in Greater Poland that were prepared at the moment of their incorporation into the Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden.
